What is the best fish to get for a beginner

( get the brown ones two should do it) the brown feeder fish will turn white, black and orange. They are very beautiful as they grow.

You will need some baby food but remember not to over feed. You can feed baby food once a day till they are large enough to eat regular fish food. They will establish the take for you and then you should be able to get any kind of fish you wish or just keep the Coy. Fish will only grow as big as the area they live in. So the bigger the tank the biger your fish will grow.

The water quality is most important for keeping fish. You should have a gravel base filter, with a carbon filter that mounts on the back of the tank. Also you should follow all directions that come with your tank for setting it up. If you bought a used tank you can find hundreds of books on fish at the library Internet or stop by any pet store that sells fish.

With Coy you don't need a heater as long as the room you have them in dosen't drop below 68 degrees. It is a good idea to get a heater that you can adjust the temp on. Also your tank should have a light on the top. Remember that fish can't close their eyes so for them to sleep they will need a place that the light can't get to or turn the light out after a few hours of darkness. Every living things needs rest or sleep.You should have an airiator that put oxagen into the water as the bubbles brake the surface of the water it makes a small wave. That wave mixes with the air in the top of the tank and oxagenates the water.
